A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

There are some two headed bemons for sale on ebay right now for like $2000. Death to all vinyl.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm with you on this.... if the Nag is truly being retired, why not make one last release with a bang. Let everyone that wanted one get theirs. There will still be the previous rar3z with the 13 edition sizes. But one last release so that everyone has a chance at owning one

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

That would be sick. I wonder if you would be able to choose which kind you would get...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Why make the fans happy now?

The business model is working and people are dropping stupid money on them.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

And clearly Shig is the one profiting.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

After issues in the aftermarket, Honda (Bemon) started selling his toys via Y!JA and he's been making out like a bandit every time. It doesn't make me feel any better that the money is going into his pocket as opposed to some stranger. I'd rather get a slim chance at scoring at a reasonable retail price through a lottery system than a solid chance to pay ridiculous aftermarket level prices.

I'd say over the past 6 months there's been a flood of 2-headed monsters on Y!JA, Mandarake, and now, as Mishka pointed out, they're even popping up on eBay. It's unfortunate that the laws of supply and demand just don't seem to take effect here... prices are actually going up! It looks like a great toy, I'd love to get my hands on one, but to hell with paying 80,000Y (minimum) with the current conversion rate, with broker fees on top of that, we're talking at least $1,200.00 per figure. I think it's hard to value a toy to be worth $1,200.00 when 1-3 pop up every other day. In the beginning, these guys were actually hard to come by. Now, if you've got the cash, there's no problem in finding one... or two... or five. Nag's are still quite a rare commodity, popping up only once in a blue moon, and the run sizes are half, or less than half of every 2-headed release (20-30 on average). It is also debatable that Shigeru puts a lot more work into each figure, no disrespect to Honda.

If I was going to pay such a ridiculous price tag for either of them, it'd probably be a Boryoku Genjin, but I'd rather not bite at all to be honest. If Shigeru really cared about his fan base, he'd be willing to do at the very least one "made to order" release. I've heard the excuse that he gets tired of painting one way, hence the small release numbers, but there's no excuse when unpainted models are an option. I, along with many others I'm sure, would settle for an unpainted model, or even better, a mixed parts over nothing any day. I'm sure Shigeru loves the hype associated with his creation, which is probably why he continues with his current method of production and sales and refuses to give in to these requests. It's stupid to assume he hasn't heard us by now. It sucks to know it'll probably never happen, but as long as the lottery system is still in effect, we still have that small chance at retail. Small as hell, but a chance none the less.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I just want a 4 eyed nag at retail...made to order would be nice too, but I doubt it will happen.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Mmmm....kinda cool...don't like as much as Nag so I don't have to flip out missing these.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

While I LOVE the clothing, I miss the crooked and broken smile of the Boryoku Genjin.
It's very... different... Almost like a crude, thrift-store Todd McFarlene/Melted-Ken Doll generic zombie vibe going on.
Wouldn't mind having one, definitely a great NagNagNag Halloween decoration.



RIP Boryoku Genjin.
